Rocky Mountain Calvary Chapel

What Rocky Mountain Calvary Chapel does

Rocky Mountain Calvary Chapel is an independent, Calvary Chapel-affiliated 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit headquartered at 4285 N Academy Blvd in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a second campus in Calhan, Colorado (the Ellicott Campus). The organization operates a multi-generational ministry portfolio centered on weekly verse-by-verse Bible teaching delivered across four weekly worship services (Saturday 6 p.m., Sunday 9 and 11 a.m., Wednesday 6:30 p.m.), live-streamed online and accessible via mobile app. It is governed by a 34-person staff led by Senior Pastor Eric Cartier, and supported by an extended team of pastors and directors across specialized ministry areas.

The organization's product surface is a comprehensive suite of faith-based programs segmented by life stage and demographic. Children's ministry includes RMC Kids (nursery through elementary), the AWANA Wednesday program, and the Joyful Starts/Joyful Hearts special-needs ministry. Youth and young adult offerings include the COmotion junior high program, Rise high school program, Young Adults community (18-30), and the E4Life 10-month missional gap year program. Adult ministries cover Men of Calvary, Women of Calvary, Marriage Ministry, RMC Singles (30s-50s), Widows Ministry, Biblical Mentoring, and The Most Excellent Way addiction recovery program. Discipleship infrastructure includes the School of Discipleship and the Equip growth program, while relational formation is anchored by Connect Groups (4-15 person in-home groups meeting on a semester cadence). A dedicated Hispanic ministry (RMC Español) operates parallel services in Spanish, and global missions outreach extends to Mexico, Peru, Uganda, and the Middle East. The Well coffee shop in the main foyer functions as a hospitality and fellowship facility.

Rocky Mountain Calvary operates on a donation-based revenue model; all programs and services are provided free of charge to attendees, with the financial base derived from voluntary tithes and offerings collected in person, online, and by mail. There is no pricing model in the commercial sense, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is community-led: the organization reaches and acquires members through in-person services, Connect Groups, multi-campus physical presence, online streaming, a podcast ("Grounded with RMC"), social media channels segmented by ministry, and local/global mission outreach. As a religious nonprofit, RMC is not subject to traditional corporate ownership structures and is governed by its pastoral leadership.
